Fresh Styling Updates for Spring from Margaret Howell
Margaret Howell's Spring/Summer 2015 menswear collection offers a modern, relaxed atmosphere, achieved by casually dressing up high-quality tailored fabrics. While retaining Margaret Howell's signature timeless design, the collection is packed with noteworthy details such as the use of scarves, the finishing and length of trousers, and the styling of tops tucked into bottoms. The looks are finished with a modern, sophisticated impression, including outfits that incorporate accent colors within a monotone coordinate.

Four Key Looks for the Spring/Summer Season Launch
The Spring/Summer 2015 Margaret Howell collection focuses on enjoying the quality of materials with simple, yet not overly casual, monotone styling. We pick out key items from recommended coordinates for a fresh take on casual dressing.
Monotone Styling
An Accent with a Scarf
Looking at the latest looks from the Spring/Summer 2014-15 season, we see how a scarf at the collar effectively adds an accent. The dot-patterned scarf, which lends a modern touch to the neckline, is a hand-printed silk item, distinctively finished with careful hand-rolled edges on both sides.
Ventile Functional Fabric
A Hooded Coat for Versatile Styling
This season features a hooded coat made from "Ventile," a material Margaret Howell first used for raincoats in the 1970s. Ventile is a high-performance fabric born from tightly woven cotton, originally developed for the waterproof suits of British Air Force pilots.
Layered with Knitwear,
A Tonal Scarf at the Neck
The model here wears a saddle-crew neck cashmere knit, popular in the autumn/winter season, reimagined for spring/summer in a light-textured cotton-cashmere blend. Using "Maize" (a yellow hue), this season's key color, and coordinating it with the scarf creates a smart impression.
Smart and Casual Styling
with High-Quality Items
The shirt features a pattern inspired by handkerchief checks, crafted from a densely woven fabric. While tailored like a dress shirt, its soft material gives it a casual feel.
